Recently, Rehs Contemporary opened a digital exhibition of work by tonalist landscape painter Ben Bauer, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Belwin Conservancy in Minnesota.
More from the gallery:
A love for the outdoors was instilled in Ben Bauer from a young age. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, he grew up in a family that enjoyed weekends in the countryside, giving him an intimate perspective of the changing of seasons; a gradual unfolding of tonal shifts over time. His experiences in those formative years were greatly influential – in addition to his family experience, school trips to places like Belwin Conservancy were significant in Bauer’s understanding of nature. It was this sincere connection to the natural world that led a young Bauer to begin drawing, initially wildlife before moving into landscapes.

As our communities have continued to develop around the world, we have sacrificed so much – our air, our water, and our land, not to mention the wildlife that relies on each. Bauer is acutely aware of how quickly our ecosystems can be damaged or completely destroyed, and how easily that loss can be justified under the guise of economic progress.
A primary objective, through his artwork, is the preservation of these landscapes, whether it is a prairie restoration or the creation of land stewardship trust to protect existing farmland from development. It is this profound awareness of the land that allows Bauer’s paintings to capture a strong sense of place and atmosphere; as he says, “that is the role of the painter, bringing us there.”

While Bauer has gone on to explore an array of locations through his work, views of the Midwest resonate strongest, from snow-blanketed hillsides to luscious nocturne farmlands. He notes, “farmers are some of the hardest working and most devoted people… that sincere devotion to making a living is very inspiring, and using their livelihood is a great way to pay reverence to that.” Bauer simply has this way of invigorating a rather unremarkable subject matter; the cool tones and use of contrast create an excitable, yet peaceful aura to the work, while somehow conveying a crispness in the air – a serene chill.
But it is more than just creating something interesting to look at … his work has a way of elevating the ordinary into something truly meaningful. They sit as a stark reminder of what we lose when we measure progress in the number of skyscrapers on the horizon, and not how blue the sky is or how clean our water is.

Bauer hopes his viewers will consider the impact they have on the natural world, and the ways in which they can create positive change for the future.

Sir John Seerey-Lester was known as “the Godfather of Contemporary Wildlife Art.” It is with sadness that we announce his passing.
His wife, Suzie, shared the following in a recent announcement:
It is with a broken heart, I wanted to let you know, John passed away May 19, after a short battle with cancer. His new book will be published later this year (stay tuned here), and his legacy will continue.

Tribute to Sir John Seerey-Lester
The world of Wildlife Art lost one of its giants with the recent passing of John Seerey-Lester, of Osprey, Florida. Born and raised in England, John relocated to America in 1980. He loved his adopted country and became a citizen in 2012. He is survived by his wife Suzie and his son, John Jr.
With work hanging in the White House, as well as Museum collections, private homes, and assemblages all around the world, John Seerey-Lester is world renowned as one of the top wildlife artists on the planet. He was known for his mystical and mysterious animals, and was frequently called “The Godfather of Wildlife Art.”
Known for constantly changing his game, several years ago he started the “Legends of the Hunt” book series. He wrote all the true stories and he created over 100 images for each of the three books (Legends of the Hunt, Campfire Tales, and The Legendary Hunts of Theodore Roosevelt). His fourth book Legendary Hunters and Explorers will be published later this year. John’s favorite thing to paint was Theodore Roosevelt, and was named “The Preeminent modern-day painter of Theodore Roosevelt.
He was Knighted by His Imperial and Royal Highness, Archduke Andreas of Austria for his work in conservation. He and his wife Suzie received the Sime Combes Award for Conservation in 2014 from Artists for Conservation, The Society of Animal Artist presented him with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019. He was also just received the NRA’s Hunter’s Leadership Forum Award, for his work in conservation. This is just a few of the numerous awards he won.
John was generous with his time and talents. He has been Master or Featured Artist for nearly every major wildlife show both in the US and the UK over the past 42 years. He and Suzie taught wilderness wildlife workshops for the past 20 years, helping new artist as well as professional artists become better at their craft.
John was known for his gifts to conservation and the organizations that were important to him. He was honored to be part of the Boone and Crockett Club, Campfire Club of America, NRA – ILA and HLF, Artists for Conservation, St. Hubertus, Society of Animal Artists, just to name a few conservation organizations.
John was truly a force to be reckoned with, his sketchbooks and sketchpads are filled with ideas that were yet to be painted. His passion was painting, every waking second of the day. His legacy will continue.
We will announce his celebration of life, after the virus has passed.
He touched so many people and the art world has lost an incredible man. I will always love him.
~Suzie

This week’s Gallery Spotlight features Arcadia Contemporary in Pasadena, California. Arcadia was founded in 2001 and today boasts over 3,000 square feet of representational art. It “remains impervious to the varying conceptual and stylistic shifts often occurring in the contemporary, art world.”
The interior of Arcadia Contemporary
Cherie Dawn Haas: Please tell us about your gallery and the type of art in which you specialize.
Steve Diamant (Guy in Charge): Arcadia Contemporary opened in Spring of 2001 with a goal of presenting skilled, realist artists who have created their own unique, signature style. We continually see talented artists who may have one of the two of these qualities, but we search for the ones that have both.
What adjustments have you made as a gallery since the outbreak? While the doors for the gallery have remained closed, we’ve just doubled our efforts online and through our social media accounts. We’ve developed themed, “virtual exhibitions” that bring the gallery into the homes of collectors and we’ve tried to come up with new and interesting ways to feature imagery by our artists on our social media platforms.
What’s your biggest priority at this time? Over the next year? Just keep selling work. We will commence with exhibitions at the gallery in mid-June and if we are still not able to have opening receptions for the artist, we will make “by appointment only” visits for both collectors who want to preview the exhibitions and for those who want to see the works in person during the course of the exhibition’s run.

What advice do you have for collectors as they navigate these times, and beyond?The same advice as we’ve always given them; “BUY WHAT YOU LOVE.” Even though they may not be able to see the works in person, my experience has always been that if they “LIKE” the work online, they will LOVE the work in person. We’re also working with collectors to present the work “virtually” in their homes through the use of Photoshop and other programs, so that helps tremendously.
Anything else you’d like to add about the current issues galleries are navigating?Staying in contact with and reaching out to clients is even more important and will continue to be even more so in the future.
Katie Whipple, “O’Haras and Hellebores,” 12 x 12, oil on panel, 2016
What are some of the ways you find artists to represent? There are so many ways. Some are referrals by other artists and as the old saying goes, “water seeks its own level” and it’s very true for artists. Talented artists tend to associate with other talented artists. Social media is also an extraordinary way to see absolutely every work of art that’s being created and allows you to reach out to artists who may be halfway around the world.
Regarding your exhibitions, do you have a current or upcoming online show? Absolutely…whether the doors will be open or not, this June 13 we will have the gallery “Re-Opening Reception” for Brad Kunkle’s new exhibition of paintings. The exhibition will be titled “Alkemie” and will include 15-20 new, oil and gold leaf paintings.

Enjoy this preview of the contemporary figurative art of Andrea Kowch, who is represented by RJD Gallery (Bridgehampton, NY). In this spotlight, Kowch takes us behind the scenes of three of her recent paintings.
Andrea Kowch: Artist’s Statement
Inspired by memories, inner emotions, history, and my fascination with nature and the human psyche, the stories behind my paintings stem from life’s emotions and experiences, resulting in narrative, allegorical imagery that illustrates the parallels between human experience and the mysteries of the natural world.
The lonely, desolate American landscape encompassing the paintings’ subjects serves as an exploration of nature’s sacredness and a reflection of the human soul, symbolizing all things powerful, fragile, and eternal. These real, yet dreamlike, scenarios serve as metaphors for the human condition, all retaining a sense of vagueness because I wish to involve and motivate the viewer in uncovering the various layers of mood and meaning to form conclusions from their own perspective, despite that my main idea will always be before them.
We all share a common thread, and as active participants in an ever-changing modern world, the purpose of my work is to remind viewers of these places that we sometimes perceive no longer exist, and to recognize and honor them as a part of our history that is worth preserving.
In juxtaposing the human form with animals and a bygone uninhibited American landscape, I provide glimpses into “rooms,” those oftentimes chaotic places we possess internally. The rural, Mid-western landscape of my home state serves as a backdrop for the stage of human emotions. The animals present are vehicles for expressing the feelings and underlying tensions suppressed behind the human mask. Symbolic explorations of the soul and events concerning our environment are expressed through the combination of these elements to transform personal ideas into universal metaphors.
Below > Take a virtual tour of the narrative figurative art of Andrea Kowch at RJD Gallery (2020):
Behind the Scenes of Andrea Kowch’s Contemporary Figurative Art
“Reunion,” Edition of 10, 36 x 36 in | 91.4 x 91.4 cm, Framed size: 49.5 x 49.5 inches
Reunion
“The figure traveling alone on a passenger train, is dressed in her finer, yet modest clothes, with her small, canine friend nestled close to her side on the seat,” Kowch tells us. “The figure’s placement allows the viewer to feel as if he/she is seated across from her. In her lap, her hands hold a small gift box, wrapped, and tied with ribbon.
“She is in thought—caught in the precise moment where she is about to lift her head and look out the window to gaze upon the landscape of rolling fields, a winding road, and glowing evening sky. Out the window, behind her, the rest of the train cars can be seen wrapping around the tracks far in the distance.
“Along the winding road that weaves through the hills towards the train, a truck can be seen approaching, headlights illuminating the twilit landscape, as it hastily races alongside the train. The sky reflects that time of day when the setting sun and rising moon greet one another in their daily exchange between daylight and nightfall. The presence of the moon brings a cosmic charge to the dreamy mystery that permeates the scene.
“Where, or who is she traveling to? Who is anticipating her arrival? Who or what is she awaiting to reunite with? Who or what is waiting to reunite with her? Who is in the automobile that races to meet the train’s arrival? Or is it simply passing by, like a thought in her mind, going on its own way?
“The painting carries a profound air of mystery and possibilities not unlike a cinematic moving picture. Like the twists and turns of a story weaving towards an eagerly awaited outcome, this painting is meant to evoke feelings that transcend the boundaries of time and space.”
“Steadfast,” Edition of 10, 16 x 12 in | 40.6 x 30.5 cm, Framed size: 28.25 x 24.25 inches
Steadfast
“Fixed boldly in place, feminine and immovable, resolute in belief, and vastly determined. This work speaks to the intricate, touching journey that 2019 has been for me as an expectant, first-time mother, and the complexities of what it means to remain resilient throughout the endless cycles of transition throughout our lives,” says Kowch.
“As steady as the land beneath her feet, the focused, imbedded spirit of the woman transcends all amongst her life, unyielding of any diversion from her primary mission and purpose.
“The wind moves in, rustling her hair, clothing, and the landscape around her, but she stands firm, proudly facing the new frontier that approaches, mysterious and infinite with possibilities, a hallmark of the ever-changing landscape of the human condition. Her essence is deeply rooted in her history, sense of self, and the past that has shaped her.
“The dog, loyal, cautious, and protective, both hesitates and supports her stability against the winds of change, a faithful heart sprouting from the roots of an unwavering love.”
“Soiree,” Edition of 10, 24 x 36 in | 61 x 91.4 cm, Framed size: 38.5 x 50.75 inches
Soiree
“In ‘Soiree,’ the subject matter and themes found in my early work reappear, resulting in a whimsical, interactive reunion between the human and animal worlds,” Kowch says. “A female character is seated upon a blanket, indulging in what appears to be intended as a solitary summer afternoon, immersed in sweet treats and written stories—until she is unexpectedly interrupted by a host of crows that arrive unannounced, inviting themselves to indulge in her picnic.
“The sense of irony and indifference in her reaction to the interruption carries an air of both apathy and amusement.
“Upon further observation, however, we begin to notice that her bountiful picnic appears to have maybe not been completely planned for only her enjoyment alone. Multiple plates in her basket hint at perhaps an unspoken hope and desire, and even preparedness for, and expectation of company. Nature is a language and one that also speaks many.
“In this lively composition, she does not protest the birds’ audacious arrival. Instead, she appears to secretly embrace it. In staying open to chance, and expecting the unexpected, we just may find what we seek—when we least expect it.”

Small Critters Beware
Oil on canvas

Artist Susan DeVan paints, not one type of subject, but an amazing variety of landscapes, still life, birds, animals, flowers, people and buildings. Each subject is portrayed in oils with a strong passion for sharing their beauty with others.
“Owls are my favorite birds, and this one is especially beloved. He came one late afternoon, perched in an old oak tree just a few yards from our dining room window, and posed while watching my husband photograph him for an hour. Dick took 32 great shots of the bird, and I used one of them for my model. The Barred Owl studied Dick’s head, and seemed perplexed about the puff of hair and the huge camera lens, and seemed to be wondering how to take this trophy and would Dick be edible? His mate hooted impatiently, and he obeyed her immediately, flying to meet her at their nesting location. This painting was accepted into an American Artists Professional League annual exhibition.”
A native of Washington D.C., Susan graduated from Georgetown University, School of Foreign Service. Throughout her career Susan always made time to paint before turning to it and writing full-time. From a home and property, in what she describes as “wild and wonderful West Virginia,” Susan finds endless inspiration in the landscape and wildlife surrounding her.
A “Fellow” Member of American Artists Professional League at Salmagundi Club in NYC, Susan has had work exhibited in juried shows from Rhode Island to Maryland, from Pennsylvania to California, from Idaho to Arizona. She is also a juried member of Oil Painters of America and a member of many art associations and clubs. The John Collins Memorial Award for Oil Painting and Best Oil Painting is one of many accomplishments for Best in Show and Best Work on Canvas awards and honorable mentions. Susan is also delighted three of her grandchildren have displayed artistic talent and mentors each as they follow their own paths to excellence.
Susan’s writing provides a glimpse into her engaging, lively personality. The book, The Granny Chronicles, is a humorous account of a feisty woman who lives in Rock Bottom, the town with no place to go but up. Her adventures and shenanigans are recorded by friends and family members whose lives are forever altered by their association with Emma Frick. Susan suggests one curl up with a cup of yarbal tea and have some laughs with Granny and the denizens of Cornrow County. The book is available through Amazon and Kindle.
Susan is represented by Xanadu Gallery.

“Burning Mist,” 30 x 36 in., oil on canvas, (c) Sergio Roffo 2020
Many view making art as a meditative practice that calms the nerves, provides clarity, and is fulfilling. For painter Sergio Roffo, that feeling of serene sanity is often achieved with brush in hand and beauty in mind.
1991 proved to be a pivotal year for artist Sergio Roffo, who uprooted himself from the heart of Boston, Massachusetts, and moved to a nautical village about 22 miles south. Immediately captivated by the marshes, brackish rivers, and coastal views, Roffo “went from painting cityscapes to coastal landscapes literally overnight,” he says. Flash forward to present day, and today we find Roffo established as one of the nation’s preeminent painters of coastal views and represented by several major galleries across the Eastern Seaboard.
“Dory In Morning,” 30 x 40 in., oil on canvas, (c) Sergio Roffo
For Roffo, a painting’s subject often “depends on which gallery I’m painting for at a particular time,” he says. “A gallery in Charleston, South Carolina, may be interested in a painting with shrimp boats as its subject, or perhaps a gallery on Nantucket Island may seek a sunset dune scene.” Focusing on each painting individually, Roffo also paints scenes that capture his attention during moments when nature reveals her profound beauty.
“Race to the Finish,” 30 x 40 in., oil on canvas, (c) Sergio Roffo 2019
Recalling the painting of “Towards Big Sur Carmel, CA,” Roffo writes, “I was driving on US1 towards Big Sur and I saw this scene looking towards my right. I had to stop and paint this sublime beauty of a view. The contrast of light and shadow on the rocky cliffs and atmospheric perspective posed a great challenge for me. I immediately set up my easel and finished a small study that I later enlarged in my studio. I tried to incorporate as much detail as possible on location.”
“Towards Big Sur, Carmel” 18×30 oil on canvas“Rounding Cotue,” Nantucket, 14 x 18, oil on panel, (c) Sergio Roffo 2020
Among Roffo’s chief artistic goals are to “convey to the viewer the illusion of reality from my use of light and color.” He suggests, “A good example of this is within the painting ‘Sunrise on the Marsh.’ I was able to capture that great golden light reflecting on the marsh.” In addition, painting affords Roffo an opportunity to achieve a sense of sanity in his life. “I have no idea what I would do if I couldn’t paint,” the artist says. “We artists aren’t happy when we aren’t painting. Ultimately, I hope to communicate to my audiences a feeling of calmness and serenity when they view my work. I hope they can relate to a sense of time and place in their lives. My message is trying to convey to the viewer the spirituality and sacredness of my work and to indicate the harmony of nature through color and light.”
“Sunrise On The Marsh,” 24 x 36 in., oil on canvas, (c) Sergio Roffo 2019
Viewing works such as Roffo’s magnetic “Wauwinet Sunset” the inner luminance and masterful use of light warm the soul in ways that recall early American painters from the Hudson River School. Among Roffo’s major influences are Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Church, and Fitz Henry Lane. Recalling his artistic journey, Roffo writes that it’s been “very fulfilling and self-satisfying. It takes an extreme amount of discipline and hard work to become a successful artist. Making pictures is a wonderful thing but the business of art is, of course, entirely different. Did I mention trying to balance your domestic life and spending quality time with your family? It’s very challenging indeed, but once you achieve that balance, there’s nothing in the world you’d rather be doing. I intend to be doing more of the same as long as I live and stay healthy: painting with passion and maintaining that life balance. Stay healthy, eat well, drink well, and be happy.”
